END OF YEAR 2015 – BOBBY COLCOMBE

ALBUMS Chastity Belt – Time to Go Home The Seattle band’s second LP is a brilliant testament to drunken mayhem and pondering self-reflection. Sounding a little like an all female version of DIIV.

INTERVIEW: ELLE MARY

Her ironically titled EP ‘Happiness’, released at the end of May, has given us an insight into Elle’s body of art and the brutal honesty of it is startling and stark. Today I meet her in Fallow Cafe; she is sat in the back corner when I arrive with a glass of wine and her […]
